There is no Hadith or narration regarding washing fruit before eating it. However, it must be washed if harm is feared from it, especially produce grown with fertilizers and insecticides, due to the Hadith: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm," and the jurisprudential rule that the origin of everything harmful is prohibition.
